Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Julian's family in Sacramento

After a divorce, Julian is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,600. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. I have started working weekend shifts, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent. Where the $3,600 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $350 • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,250 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,000 With deep gratitude, Julian

          is there anything that isn't money that would help Julian?

            Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about late fees and court costs, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.

              So sorry you're going through this, Julian. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better

                wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
